The Mayors Council of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Municipal League invite 8th graders from home, public, and private schools throughout Oklahoma to participate in a statewide essay contest, “If I Were Mayor, I Would …” to tell others what they would do as mayor to make their city or town a better place to live!
To enter, complete this entry form and attach to your 1-page essay. The student’s name, teacher or parent’s name and school must appear at the top of the essay. The form can also be found at https://www.oml.org/if-i-were-mayor.
Three finalists will be chosen from the contest entries. First place will win $250, second place $150 and third place $100. Winners will be awarded at the Annual Congress of Mayors, February 25, 2022.
Those who have questions about the contest or would like to sponsor a winning student’s travel to the Capitol to receive his or her prize, please call Sarah Lingenfelter at OML (800) 324-6651 or locally 528-7515 or email sarah@oml.org.
